It's been almost two and a half years since I've come anywhere near this blog-except to pull up recipes occasionally. I'm not sure why, but there's some shame associated with this fact, like I have neglected a close friend. For years this blog was my constant companion and ideas for new posts would come to me frequently. My sister and I took an epic trip to Finland and Lithuania in the summer of 2013 and toward the end of the trip I stopped blogging thinking I would finish writing about the vacation upon returning home. I came home the last week of June to more travel for a wedding, then Germany and South Korea for work and then the finality of a divorce. In many ways it stopped me in my tracks. I locked in that winter as I tend to do, but I kinda' forgot to check back in. Probably on purpose.
So here I am now, about to embark on a wonderful new adventure and knowing this blog will be a big part of the journey. So please stay tuned-check in every now and then-I am thrilled and terrified both and I could use the company!
Here's a pic from about six weeks ago. My crazy daughter Marta convinced her parents to go skydiving with her! It was exhilarating and wildly scary, but I am so glad I did it!
